Garth Nix, bestselling author of the Keys to the Kingdom series and Shade's Children, combines space opera with a coming-of-age story in his YA novel A Confusion of Princes. Superhuman. Immortal. Prince in a Galactic Empire. There has to be a catch. Khemri learns the minute he becomes a Prince that princes need to be hard to kill--for they are always in danger. Their greatest threat?

There are rules, but as Khemri discovers, rules can be bent and even broken. There are also mysteries. Khemri is drawn into the hidden workings of the Empire and is dispatched on a secret mission. In the ruins of space battle, he meets a young woman, called Raine, who challenges his view of the Empire, of Princes, and of himself. But Khemri is a Prince, and even if he wanted to leave the Empire behind, there are forces there that have very definite plans for his future. From a "New York Times"-bestselling author comes an exhilarating, futuristic coming-of-age novel packed with Ospace battles! Political intrigue! Engineered warriors! Techno-wizardry! Assassins! Pirates! Rebels! Duels! Secrets, lies, sex, and True Love" ("Kirkus Reviews, " starred review). Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
